Trump Facebook Vid Promises to Put ‘Minors’ Back to Work –– And Social Media Has a Field Day

by Josh Feldman | 11:54 am, June 24th, 2017

President Trump‘s official Facebook page posted a bunch of highlight clips from his big rally this week, along with the text of what he said. One of them, however, contained a rather unfortunate typo during the point when the President was talking about coal miners:



Whoops.

The video has since been taken down (though it is https://www.facebook.com/DonaldTrump/videos/10159357381060725/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" target="_blank">cached here), but Twitter is already having a field day:

1. Dammit Timmy! Get up off your lazy ass and stop playing with those legos

and go out and get a job!

2. Not a typo. He just can't spell. And since they are taking away free lunches in schools

and cutting assistance programs, it could be his way of telling the truth for a change.

3. Yeah, baby--get those freeloading kids out of school, and...

back into the mines where they can support their families on the serf wages we're bringing back!

We don't need no education.....

4. SO when does Barron get a job?

5. I read this without even batting an eye.

Just figured it was another one of his 19th-Century MAGA innovations.

Let's get rid of the restrictions on cigarettes and make American tobacco great again!

6. Perhaps a Freudian Slip. Iowa has seen a large uptick in Child Labor Permits, ages 14 & 15.

.

Just like the folks in Texas, wanting to roll back minimum age laws, Iowa wants kids to work the farms and fields.

20 Hours/week summer, 14 Hours/weekduring school year. MINIMUM WAGE $7.25, initial employment $6.35 first 90 consecutive days, and for Summer help, they're fucked.

(Note: Most kids don't work on a farm more than 90 days, due to the employer and labor demands.)
